Fermin Aldeguer details “crazy” aspect of MotoGP adaptation
“The first day was very difficult be♚cause this bike 🍒is so fast…"

2025 MotoGP rookie Fermin Aldeguer has had his first da𒐪ys on track of the year duri📖ng this weekend’s Sepang MotoGP Shakedown test.
After only four da𒈔ys on the bike, the Spaniard’s adaptation to premier class machinery after spending four years on Moto2 bikes is still a work in progress
“I can stay happy because we work in a good way,” Aldeguer said at the Se🐟pang Shakedown.
“All the laps we improve something on the bike, on the setting, also on♕ my ridin𝐆g style.
“The first day was very difficult because this bike is so fast. After a long break in the winter, riding with MotoGP is crazy. I think we do very good work a🐭nd we can stay calm.”
The Spaniard added that✨ braking is the most difficult thing to adapt to, partly because of the p❀ower of the brakes themselves but also because of the speed at which a MotoGP bike arrives at a corner.
“I think the brake point [is the most difficult thing to adapt to], because now we a💧rrive so fast and it’s crazy where you can brake, and understand this also with a different disc on the brake𒈔s,” he said.
“I have to understand a little bit better but we are working on this poi🦹nt.”
From ending day one 🐽in the 2:00 range, Aldeguer was in the 1:58s by day three.
However, “I’m not focused ꦅon the lap time now because at the end we have to do two seconds faster to arrive at the pole position record,” he said.
“But all the laps I try to improve the ridinജg style, I felt to be a little bit more aggressive, also, for this bike.
“At the end, I think I need time, o♐nly, to do laps, to understand better where I༺ can improve.
He added: “I have to understand better also the tyres, but in this point we are very happy because I us𒉰e very well the rear tyre and I have to understand a little bit better the front for the brakes.”
Something to work ﷽on for Aldeguer after the Barcelona test was his position on the bike, work he suggested remains ongoing.
“We are working also on my position because it’s very important on the MotoGP𓃲 to turn the bike,” he said.
“Butꦐ I only need laps and feel better, and work on the setting to stay more calm on the bike. I have to adapt my style🌳 to do that.”
